If you can add more memory you should do that... On these older machines I always would max out the memory... But in your case if you are running 2G then I think this is more than enough for what you are running??? Unless all those firewire ports you added could be the trouble??? Can this computer run the 800's, are they compatible??? If everything was running good in the 867 then it should be ok in the 1.25, maybe uninstall the 800 firewire's and see how it is??? Did you run this 1.25 before you transferred all the stuff from your old computer??? How about the keyboard and mouse were they from you old machine are from the new one??? I would switch them too if not... Hopefully someone else has more on this??? I can't think of anything else right now??? CoolKat
